Hello? We are talking about ARAB PUBLIC IN GENERAL resenting the US more and more. What do your TWO highly educated doctor friends of Afghan origin have ANYTHING to do with what Arab public of several countries think and feel??? Your friends LIVE IN AMERICA for crying out loud. Are you surprised they like the US? Their opinion is an informed one, imo Oh wow. Two doctors of Afghan origin saying Arabs love America. I am stunned. What then, if my Afghan sources don't count for anything in your view, might be your more "credible" sources? Follow Arab media. You obviously have internet connection. If you can, talk to Arabs who live in Arab countries. They will tell you about the general resentment of the US. Too lazy for either? Try the polls: Negative sentiment for the United States was strongest in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with 87 per cent saying they have an unfavourable impression. The figure was 76 per cent in Egypt, and 61 per cent in Jordan. The best scores for the United States were in Kuwait, liberated by U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf War, where 48 per cent said they had an unfavourable impression. Forty-one per cent viewed America favourably - compared to only 12 per cent in Saudi Arabia. halifaxherald.com Even in Kuwait, saved by the US from Saddam a decade ago, 48% of those polled have an unfavourable opinion of the US. I hope that helps.
